They also live in the same little village; quiet, peaceful and where not a lot happens.
They’re all feisty and love each other fiercely.

About the author
J.A. Heron
12 books163 followersMy name is Jane and I write under the name of J A Heron.
I live in a small town called Burton on Trent, Staffordshire in the middle of England. This lovely little town is famous for making beer, and I have called it home since I was born.
I have a daughter called Shelby and although I was a young mother, I couldn't be more proud of the beautiful young lady I have raised, I was eighteen years old when she came into my life, and I love her more than anything in the world.
I am quite a positive person, and with some of the hardships I have encountered over the years has made me a stronger person. I lost my mum to cancer over ten years ago, and although I lost my best friend that day I believe in my heart that she would be proud of me.
I started writing because of my love for books, but also, because of my disability. I was a bit of a medical miracle you see, I survived, when I really shouldn't have. And whilst my illness left me with some lasting effects, it also left me with a new outlook, determination and confidence that I could do it, so I did!
I have loved reading for a number of years now, and my only regret is that I wish I had read more as a youngster. I believe it is very important to teach children the love of books from an early age, the earlier the better in my opinion.
I am in a relationship with a wonderful man called Ian. He is very supportive of my writing and calls me 'his clever girl', for some reason this always makes me blush. Ian and my daughter know when to give me some space to write, they know that I can become quite tetchy when in the zone. But they also know that I need an endless supply of coffee, and maybe some chocolate thrown into the mix.
I believe in my work, I believe in my stories, and I hope you do too...trust me, there's a lot more to come!

I was given a copy of this book by the lovely J. A. Heron in exchange for an honest review. I’ve known the author for a while now, having met online, and finally in person, but that doesn’t make me bias in any way.
I have to admit, when I started this book and saw that it was split over four different character point of views, I was worried. A lot of authors who write multiple POV often confuse the reader, but Heron didn’t. She somehow, from the very get go, managed to give each woman her very own voice and personality. It was easy to read the book without having to constantly check who was narrating which chapter. It’s not easy to do that, so kudos!
Each woman come of the page as real. Real in the sense that she has faults, she has vices, she has her little idiosyncrasies, and her good side. These women are just like any of your friends (or their wives) who you’d go to the pub with, or out shopping. They are REAL PEOPLE and that’s the draw of this book. Clarissa’s the ‘boss’ – in that she runs the salon they all work in, but she’s a worrier. However, she’s much stronger than she thinks. Brenda’s the hard talking mother of the group. She doesn’t suffer fools, but makes some mistakes – especially towards the end of the book – for the right reasons. Carla’s the maneater- she’s looking out for number one, and enjoying the ride as she goes along. Davina is the only real ‘cliche’ in that she’s a ‘dumb blonde’, but she’s such a sweetheart, it’s hard to look at her in a cliche way.
The pace of this book is great and there are never any moments where the reader thinks ‘oh just get to the good stuff’ which kept me reading whenever I had the chance. In fact, the only real complaint I had was that sometimes the book was a little detail heavy, but with four women, what do you expect. Let’s face it, we notice EVERYTHING!!
The dialogue, while a little over formal in places, was great, and really showed the friendship and love these women shared, especially when they are facing real problems. They support and are there for each other, but aren’t afraid to put one another in their place when needed.
A great read, and I can’t wait for book two!

Favorite Quotes:
“She has a tendency to take things literally, her common sense classes at school must have been cancelled and I’m positive her parents dropped her on her head, how else would someone be lacking a sense of humor?”
“‘Well you said we should go Dutch, but I don’t want to go to Norway.’ We all fall into a fit of hysterics. This girl cracks me up. Sometimes I wonder if she really is that dumb, or she just likes to make us think that so that we fall about laughing.���
“Carla’s ladette behavior is sure to drive the classy doctor away, I’m pretty sure he wasn’t looking for a date with a girl who is about as ladylike as a farting, beer swilling, bum showing, brick layer.”
“Just the sight of him has my pulse racing and heat thawing places that have been frozen for far too long. Tasteless deliberations are flashing around my head and invading my ability to think straight… This is so pathetic, if it was the other way around, he would be accused of being a perv… If only he knew what was on my mind, if anyone knew, I’d be locked up for indecency.”
“I have to admit, hearing him say those words is like having a never ending supply of bacon, chocolate and a hot man all in one go.”
My Review:
This was my virgin voyage with J.A. Heron and the gal has skills! I adore her humor and vibrant and quirky characters, each one is unique, interesting, and likable. The story has lots of twists and turns, a bit of intrigue, a little mystery, a crazy stalker, tragedy, and personal secrets and embarrassments. I enjoyed the women’s friendships, witty banter, and teasing. But Ms. Heron’s warped humor had me frequently smirking and smiling as I read, until I got to her heinous cliffhanger – arg! I hope she is currently chained to her laptop and near completion on the next volume – or she may have a crazy stalker of her own to contend with. More please!

I really enjoyed this story of four women all so different with each one having their own personal ideals and yet they all come together as not only work colleges but as best of friends.
It took me back to my childhood because it's set mainly about an hairdressing salon where they all work together because my Mom run her own hairdressing business as I was growing up so I can relate to the sounds and the smells and the gossiping by the clientele mainly the shampoo and set brigade.
It's got happiness and sadness all rolled into one as we see prospective from each of the women in each chapter as the story moves along and it's interesting to read what each one of them thinks about each situation that they encounter, most of the time they don't agree with each other but they still are able to be friends because they have an unbreakable bond of love between them.
My only minor criticism of the book is that I think that sometimes the writing style seems to be that the characters when thinking about situations it's like reading a list of things rather than a flowing paragraph of thoughts, it distracted me a little from reading parts that should have been a little more dramatic to me as a reader.
I still think that this book deserves 5 stars for sheer quality of the story because as I neared the end I was like "you can't leave me hanging like this, I need to know what happens now!!!!"
Big cliffhangers!!!! YES more than one at the end of the story, it will now drive me absolutely nuts until book 2 in this series is released.
My first book by J A Heron and well after reading this it most certainly won't be my last.

This is the first book I have read from J A Heron so I didn't know what to expect, though I do know she also writes gritty novels but this is completely different!
It is centred around the friendship of Clarissa (salon owner), Brenda, Carla, and Davina - best friends and also colleagues. They are all totally different characters but that's what makes them gel and get along wonderfully. I loved the banter between them and J A had me in stitches more than once, especially with Davina who is just a little bit ditzy!
There are also some serious elements to the story though such as stalking and terminal illness, but although most of the writing is light-hearted, these issues fit within the story well. Coming to that, J A also had me in tears towards the end of the book as the characters are totally relatable to real life and you can gather some understanding from the writing.
I liked the dual POV throughout the story though it was a bit confusing at a couple of points when it went back to things that had already happened, though it was relaying events from another character POV.
All in all, a really enjoyable first read from J A Heron but I will warn it does end on a cliffhanger and I'm dying to read part 2! 4.5 stars from me.

Reviewed on behalf of 2 Girls a Book & a Glass of Wine
I really enjoyed this book. GirlsQuad is about four best friends that all different ages and very different personality. They are silly, outspoken and will always have each other’s backs. Each woman has her own story but they all connect.
Clarissa: I just want her to find her happy ever after
Brenda: She’s a fighter!!!! I don’t want to say anything more… I think Simon is the best hubby
Carla: Her story really gets your attention ….what’s gonna happen? What a cliff hanger! I really want her to find Mr Right I'm hoping the Good Doctor is him or at least give love a chance.
Davina: OH BOY WHERE TO START? She’s sweet, not always the brightest, but she always means well and has a good heart. She has a lot of growing up to do. I think she’s lucky to have such good friends/role models to help her. I won’t give any spoilers…. I would feel the same way about my mom was like that with me… just saying. I hope that jerk of an ex stays away but at the same time I want Liam to kick his butt!!! I WANT TO KNOW A LOT MORE ABOUT HOT SEXY LIAM!
I laughed, and I cried. I can’t wait to see what happens next

*****5 Stars*****
*ARC provided by the author for an honest review*
Written on four POV's.. At first I was a little worried about getting lost within the story, seriously I didn't need to be! This author did a fantastic job bringing these four different personalities, each with their own voice together without getting confused!
Four girls - Clarissa (Salon Owner), Brenda, Davina and Carla all are best friends & colleagues... Amazing to see how different they are, their friendship is base on love & loyalty to each other.
A beautiful story with real life issues, the banter between these girls had me laughing at times. (You know the girls from Friends - TV show? they remind me of these with Sex and the City girls thrown in the mix) Now you know why.
I really loved reading this story, so refreshing, different for a change but I have to warn you that it does end with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting book 2 like now! Hint Ms Heron!! LOL

**I was gifted a copy of this book for my honest review**
Well what can I say about this book?
It is a tale of four best friends who work together. They are all very different in personalities and looks but the thing they all have in common is they all love each other very much.
I loved this book, it made me laugh and it made me cry at the end. It is a very fluffy heart-warming book. That is until you get about 60% in and there is some very hard challenges the girls have to face. That's life unfortunately, things happen and we have to find ways of coping through them. This book is a very real, very lifelike book.
Ahhh I just cannot rant and rave enough about how much I love it. I really do. I'm kicking myself for waiting too long to read it!!!
I am also wanting to kick the author for writing a cliffhanger and then making me wait to find out what happens in book 2!!!!

A very enjoyable read, the first in a series, based around this group of four friends who work in a hair and beauty salon. Written in multiple points of view, we get to go on each of the women's journeys and their trials and tribulations and, at the core of the story, their relationships, not just with each other, but with the men in their lives. You see their faults and flaws as well as their strengths and hearts. Heron knows how to write angst, that's for sure and moments in the book will pull at your heart strings leaving you needed the next book to find out what happened. Yes, there is a cliffhanger at the end, but don't all good books leave you wanting more? Don't let this put you off!

I can't believe I have been meaning to read this for so long, but I have just actually got around to it.
GirlsQuad is a fabulous story about 4 friends. They all have their own individual personality, but as a group they gel. This is a story about true friendship and love. I won't tell you about the story, because you need to unravel it yourself.
Each character has something going on in their life that each and every one of us probably has at some stage.
This book ends on a cliff hanger leaving you wondering what is going to happen to the girls. I look forward to reading book 2.
Well done Jane, for a fabulous story.

This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
GirlsQuad was the perfect book to read when I needed to read a different sort of book. This book follows four women, who all happen to be best friends and work together. They are funny, honest, lovable, unique and a fabulous bunch of friends. Even though there are different ages within the group, when you read about them, you can't tell. They are all women who know what they want, how they want to live their lives and how much they love their best friends.
I loved Davina, although I couldn't help but feel sorry for her inability to understand some common, quirky sayings. She has passion for her work, loyalty to her girls and to her 'boyfriend'. When I read more about her, I pitied her but then I knew she had found her spunk and I was cheering her on.
Brenda is like the mother hen of the group (every group has one) and I loved that she is a married woman with three children. This made the dynamics of the group at lot less party and instead more relaxed and enjoy conversation and good wine. Her husband Simon is amazing, and you can tell how much he loved his wife. J.A. has written their lives perfectly, demonstrating that being a full time employee, married person with three children takes its toll on life, but when you have your soul mate, nothing matters more than a family life (even if there isn't sex every night!). Brenda is very level headed, although she has some naughty habits, but I loved her even more for her habits.
Carla is a bit of a man eater, but I couldn't fault her for it. She knows what wort of life she wants, and learning more about her has shown me that it is completely her choice. I kept hoping that she would find 'the one' and settle down, but then a part of me hoped she just kept on enjoying her life no matter what people thought about her. I did share an empathy for her, because she has a little bit of drama occurring through the book. This just made for an interesting and captivating read.
Clarissa... I loved her and she is the sort of woman that I root for completely. She is a business woman, but has the great fortune of working with her best friends. You know that she is missing something, and this book is the perfect read to see whether she gets her dream.
J.A has such a beautiful writing style that makes it easy to be absorbed into the book and have to need to finish the book. Although the book was told from four POV, it didn't make the book confusing, and kept it clear and an enjoyable story. The chapters were the perfect length and the different storylines were lovely. I loved the drama, the romance, the sarcasm and generally everything this book has. This book makes you laugh, cry and smile as well as giving you moments to ponder about your own life and how good your own best friends are. This book is a wonderful read, that is the perfect story to cheer you up or just when you want to read something a little different. This book is worth the 5 stars and is a book you need to read!

Clarissa... I loved her and she is the sort of woman that I root for completely. She is a business woman, but has the great fortune of working with her best friends. You know that she is missing something, and this book is the perfect read to see whether she gets her dream.
J.A has such a beautiful writing style that makes it easy to be absorbed into the book and have to need to finish the book. Although the book was told from four POV, it didn't make the book confusing, and kept it clear and an enjoyable story. The chapters were the perfect length and the different storylines were lovely. I loved the drama, the romance, the sarcasm and generally everything this book has. This book makes you laugh, cry and smile as well as giving you moments to ponder about your own life and how good your own best friends are. This book is a wonderful read, that is the perfect story to cheer you up or just when you want to read something a little different. This book is worth the 5 stars and is a book you need to read!

I was given an ARC by the author for an honest review.
When I started reading Ms Heron’s book, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. What I read was something I immensely enjoyed.
GirlsQuad is about the friendships forged among four girls – Clarissa, Brenda, Carla, and Davina - and the lives that they lead. It gives the reader a glimpse of how the women perceive each other vis-à-vis how they see themselves. Clarissa is the sensible one who owns a beauty salon where the rest of the girls work. Brenda is happily married. Carla happily hops from man to another, but the book gives a foreshadowing as to why she does this. Davina is the youngest who finds it difficult to let go of her man who is a serial cheater, but eventually finds the strength to do so.
Ms Heron has masterfully developed four relatable characters and puts them in one story of interconnecting lives and friendships. She delves into the deep seated anxieties and insecurities of each woman who, at the same time, derive strength from each other. She pulls the reader into their thoughts and the way they compensate for what each one perceives to be their respective weaknesses. One person that I liked was Davina. The ditsy blonde in the group, her insatiable appetite for “googling” things shows a desire to compensate for her being slow in understanding what her friends say. This is not only laudable, but also admirable. The story ends in a cliffhanger for one of the characters, yet at this stage in the story, Ms Heron has set the foundation for each of the women to develop more as the story progresses.
If I could give the novel higher rating, I would have given it a 9.
I look forward to reading more of this series.

When I heard that J A Heron was doings Romantic Comedy I didn't know what to expect if I'm honest, Especially since I fell head over heels with her darker books.
But GirlsQuad blew me away. From the jaw aching grinning and laughter to the tear inducing lows in this story there truly is never a dull moment.
The group of girls - four to be precise the (Quad get it?! I just know poor Davina would struggle with it!) consist of Brenda, Carla, Davina and Clarrisa. What a bunch this lot are!!
But honestly - I can only describe it as a truly brilliant mix of sex and the city and Friends. The witty banter, sex chatter, hilarity and sometimes ditzy comments from poor Davina, I promise will entertain you. But truthfully, it's all about friendship. In fact, deeper than that...sisterhood!
Each of the girls has their side of the story to tell, but wow, what an incredible start to this series. I am beyond excited to see where this brilliant lady takes these books and I'm already stocking up on tissues as I know I'll need them!
A five star must read!
Excerpt that I think says it all...
"I may not love a man, but I love these girls like they are family. They are my family and they mean everything to me."

In this book we follow 4 best friends. Clarisa, Carla, Davina and Brenda. We follow their lives, the problems they face and joys they have in life. There's happiness, heartbreak, laughing, crying moments all in this book. In life the most important thing is friendship!
I loved J.A's 30 Days, and I wanted to read this book as it is something different from the author. I wasn't disappointed, I really enjoyed this story!
You connect with all of the characters, the girls feel like they are your best friends. There's always the dump one, the outgoing one, the one that speaks her mind etc in a group of friends and that's what we get here.
I didn't really know what to expect of the story, with the book being about 4 best friends but there is a lot of background information and story progression for each character. At first I found the 4 POV hard to keep up with, I was getting confused with the girls names and who was who. But when I got the hang of it, I did enjoy having each of the girls' POV.
There were heartbreaking parts of the story, that had my eyes welling with tears, there was also those laugh out loud moments.
Throughout the story there was a bit of repetition with the characters thoughts, and it was kind of off putting for me.
Overall I really enjoyed the story, I loved all the girls and their personalities and I want more of them. I can't wait for Book 2, I need it NOW!!

**REVIEWED ON BEHALF OF YOUR NEXT HOT READ**
This book has left me gasping for more! If a cliffhanger is not for you then this book would kill you, it ends right at the precipice of action & drama which is built up in a way in which you meet the 4 individual beauties that make up GirlsQuad, you start to identify the unique persona's of each lady, their characteristics, their strengths & their weaknesses. JA Heron makes each character so distinct that there is no confusion or lack of depth to any of her characters, this is an amazing feat as I've read books where the lead character doesn't have the depth, identity & heart that one of GirlsQuad have, never mind 4 characters. Hats off to amazing character building that means every reader will identify characteristics of themselves in at least one of the GirlsQuad.
The plot is intriguing and develops at a nice pace, building in anticipation & exploding with surprises that had me gasping in shock & filling with disbelief.
GirlsQuad is the definition of female solidarity that is heart warming, quirky, humorous & addictive. I'm literally gagging for the next instalment!!

This is my first J A Heron book. I know, I know hang my head, but this will not be the last, I'm going to go and read all her other stuff asap!!
I loved this book purely for the fact that I was able to relate to each character, we all have a little feisty Brenda in us, a little bit of us like Clarissa in us dreaming of funding our one true love, a bit of Carla who doesn't give a crap what her friends think of her lifestyle choices and a little bit of Davina's innocence and ditzyness.
I did feel that sometimes parts were repeated and over decriptive, other people like the description of everything but I don't it's a personally preference. I didn't let that reflect my rating because I love the whole storyline and I loved the closeness of all four girls! i felt every emotion for all the girls and it kept me turning the pages.
I would love to know more about the background of each girl especially Davina's and Carla.
That ending!!!! I need the second like yesterday!!
all in all an enjoyable read ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

First of all, wow. I freaking loved reading this.
I would recommend this to anyone who's looking for a brilliant read! It has everything I love in it. A good story line, amazing characters and the way it pulls emotions from me is absolutely wonderful. J.A. Heron hasn't failed to leave me wanting to read more of her stuff, it's just that good.
I loved this book because it's different to other books I've read. It's a story about four friends and the way they live life. There's four different POV's in this and it's interesting to see what each character is thinking. I LOVED Davina, that poor girl and her little understanding of things her friends say, bless her. I love all four girls and the friendship between them, it's real and beautiful.
The ending is very emotional and leaves you wanting more which I CAN'T WAIT for lol.
I'm in awe of this book, I'm very happy to have read it.

I received a copy of this book in return for leaving an honest review.
The author did a fantastic job capturing the dynamic between a group of best friends. Even though they are all different as night and day, their love and loyalty bind them together. I feel like this could genuinely be a group of friends.
I enjoyed seeing things from each of their point of views. I'm glad the author took this route, the book would have been lacking in think if it was just from one. She did a flawless job of that. Often multiple points of view get jumbled up and it's hard to tell what's going on. But in this book you won't have that problem since each point of view clearly has her own voice.
I have a bestest friend, and she is my person, my rock, and the missing parts of my sanity. I'm just not the type to have a group of friends like that. But I've always wondered what it would be like and now I think I honestly know.
All four of the characters were relatable in some way. And I found myself feeling all the feels throughout this book. It is definitely a strong start to what seems like a great series.

Well I wasn't going to start this book yet but it kept jumping out at me so I stopped opening the book I was meant to read and jumped into this book.
Im so glad I did!
I went into this book blind I didn't read the blurb and once I fell into my comfy zone I was drawn in to this book which I loved as these four friend have a real beautiful bond.
These friends would do anything for each other and What I loved was the way this Author wrote each character that it was like they were just walking the streets and I knew them from afar it was that moment you realise that this Author has a true gift. Making a book come truly alive and wanting me to be able to dive in and become apart of it.
I loved how this small group took me on an adventure that had my heart sing then to be cut the next. I rode there life's with them and each had there own unique way that your be struggling to decide which is your favourite. I'm a sucker and like them as equal as there just like how we want to be - Strong, independent and have those friends you can lean on.
I highly recommend this book. Your want more So much more.
5 Strong Stars!

FLOVED it!
ARC given by the author for an honest review.
Absolutely Brilliant! A completely fabulous well written story that pulls at every emotion you have and will keep you hooked from start to finish.
This is the story of Clarissa, Brenda, Clara and Davina, Four completely different people who are the best of friends.
GirlsQuad is told from all 4 characters POV which makes the story even
better as you can see all sides.
My favourite character has to be Brenda. She is a strong and feisty
character with quite a hectic life.
Even though Brenda was my fav, I loved all the other characters, they
were all unique and very different. Each lady had a story to tell.
J.A. Heron leaves you on a OMG ending and one that had me frantically
swiping my kindle going no....... haha
I cant wait for book 2 and to see what JA has in store for us.
A fantastic must read 5 stars.

I really really enjoyed this story, I love the concept of 4 very different friends with 1 common interest, their mutual love for one another. The story is told from the 4 friends perspective, but it flows so well, so at no point was I left confused.
I was looking for a different read and when I received this book it was just what the Dr ordered. GirlsQuad is heartwarming tale, with laughs and sadness at times, all what we experience with our own girlfriends, so the characters are very easy to relate to. This is the perfect book to curl up with on a cold winters evening, with hot chocolate and a bag of marshmallows, be prepared to sit there for a while though as you won't be able to put it down. It ended on a cliffhanger, which left me screaming 'NOOOO!!!', after my relaxed reading session but also making me desperately wanting more. I look forward to the next instalment in this exciting new series from J.A.Heron.

I was given a copy for an honest review... and being the first book of JA Heron's that I have read I can honestly say I will be reading more ! whilst occasionally at the start I found it confusing whose pov I was reading.. given that there were 4 characters' povs... once I'd got to know the characters more this became easier. four totally different characters who share work and a strong bond through friendship.. these girls had me laughing at their hilarious escapades, mad banter and mickey taking of the ditzy loveable Davina. We've all got friends like each of these girls and that made it relateable .. the mother figure at work (Brenda), the friend whose lifestyle you dont quite agree with (Carla), the dizzy one (Davina) and the sensible one (Clarissa).. i was on the edge of my seat towards the end of the book. (I can't wait for book 2 to find out how things turn out!)

WOW. Holy f***ing s**t balls. This book is amazing.
The writing is (to me anyway) flawless. The story just flows and even with 4 POV'S it doesn't get confusing. I found it gives the reader a chance to experience all 4 girls emotions simultaneously without missing anything out. It kept my gripped from the very first paragraph to the point I didn't think I need to eat, sleep or sort my kids out. The emotions had me all over the place (chocolate is definitely needed) to the point I wanted to launch my kindle across the room (I didn't but oh so wanted to). The book does finish on one hell of a cliffy. In desperate need for the next book. want it like yesterday. A total must read

GirlsQuad – Jane A Heron
4**** read
I was given an ARC of this book in return for an honest review.
This is the first book I have read by this author and its a very enjoyable read. Its based on a group of 4 best friends who, even though they are all completely different have a really strong bond. I found it easy to get to know each of the individual characters as all are so unique and different from each other. This book was different from recent books I had been reading which made a nice change. I also liked the strong message throughout the story that the most important thing in life is friendship. It does finish on a cliff hanger and I cant wait to read the next instalment.
October 1, 2015
I was so lucky to receive this from the author for my honest review, OMG this is a brilliant and amazing read it's filled with true friendship of different ages and filled with so much humour, I have been crying laughing out loud. The relationships between all the characters are amazingly true to life, the problems, work, relationships or lack of and heartbreak, you will need tissues and chocolate definitely for this read, the writing is brilliant and pulls you in that you relate to what is going on, your emotions will be a yoyo and sorry but it ends on a massive cliff hanger but I can't wait to find out more............
November 30, 2015
Wow that was an extreme roller coaster of emotional events! An easy flowing story line depicts the lives of 4 very close friends that work at the same hair and beauty salon. The ladies are normal, beautiful but lacking in confidence. They all have bad experiences from their pasts that are paving their present and future lives. The book follows from each of their POVs and is extremely easy to follow. No spoilers in this review but you will need a lot of tissues. I was given this book as an ARC and this is an honest review. It does finish on a cliff hanger as such for each of the ladies so I'm looking forward to the next book. Well done Jane!

Finally!
A story that is 'REAL'.
I absolutely adore these girls and I have friends just like them. My friend Tracey is just like Carla... 'the slut' (sorry Trace, you know I love you).
I also have a ditzy friend just like Davina.
I laughed so hard at certain scenes and cried at others. This is a tale about real life with true to life characters and I am overjoyed that I finally got round to reading it.
Thank you JA for providing the world with a great book, great characters and enough comedy/drama to keep me turning the pages.
If I could award more stars, this would be a 10 without a doubt.
